Internet service provider, Access Kenya has announced plans expand its network coverage to all counties in the country. This comes at a time when the government is working to invest in the newly formed counties to enhance development.
The Sh250 million expansion plan targets mostly government business in the counties. The company plans to open branches and expand infrastructure in more towns where demand for data services is expected to grow as the devolved government units take shape. Offices are set to be opened in 15 towns by the end of this year to cover all the county headquarters in the medium term.
The firm also plans to explore the opportunities in the rapid expansion of banks, multinational enterprises and other financial institutions that demands specialised IT support from telecommunication service providers.
Earlier this year, the firm announced plans to expand its metropolitan fibre network in Nairobi and Mombasa at a cost of over Sh100M.The expansion would cover additional areas along Thika Road, Outering Road, Mlolongo and Lower Kabete.
Access Kenya recently opened branches in Nakuru and Kisumu, plans to establish operations in Embu, Meru, Malindi, Kakamega, Kisii and Webuye, among other towns in the short term. So far it has already laid 330 kilometers of fibre optic cables in towns like Mombasa and Nairobi and it wants to increase the infrastructure by up to 70 kilometers by the end of the year.
The aim is to deliver fast internet speeds to clients in new buildings as well as furthering the company’s reach to new clients.
